It took some digging, but this is original quote on that subject from XOTech:

My indication also suggests that only 13 cars were originally hand-signed by Gordon Murray in the way shown on #007. I am aware of at least 2 other car owners that have returned a component to Gordon for his signature.
Note that he doesn't say that "the first 13 were signed", just that 13 cars were.

I can't find any visual evidence of chassis #009 being signed, but chassis #073 and the car believed to be chassis #059 are both signed on the right chassis spar. Also, chassis #013 seen below, while signed by Murray on the brake balance foil, is not signed by the chassis plate like chassis #007 and others we have seen.



I just don't see how the Tag Heuer car can be anything but #012.
